The Magnificent Son-in-law
Chapter 1131 - 1131: Good News and Bad News
Why can someone as notorious as Ma Yuliang serve as the chief of the Demon Suppression Action Team?
Xiao Feng didn't think too long about this question before choosing to set it aside.
Because, clearly, this isn't something that can be guessed through speculation.
Although I've learned quite a few of Ma Yuliang's misdeeds, history has proven countless times that no one is purely good or bad.
No matter how bad a person is, they have their good side, and no matter how good they are, they have flaws.
Pure good and bad do not make up the world; this is the complexity of human nature.
As the sky fully brightened, groups of people came out of the tent.
But no matter who it was, they all kept a respectful distance from Xiao Feng and the others.
This time, they were genuinely frightened, truly not daring to provoke, unlike the former apprehension!
Just then, a striking figure appeared in front of Xiao Feng.
The young girl clasped her little hands behind her back, and with a deliberately serious face, said in a pretentious old-fashioned tone, "I heard you caused trouble again last night?"
The only one who could or dared talk to Xiao Feng like this, besides the little girl, was Hua Ling, the junior leader of the Demon Suppression Action Team.
"It wasn't me causing trouble; trouble came looking for me," Xiao Feng sighed helplessly, and asked, "There's also a chief of the Demon Suppression Action Team, how come you never mentioned it?"
Hua Ling looked slightly surprised, "How did you know there's a chief?"
"We met last night."
"Oh, I see." Hua Ling nodded and said, "That old geezer doesn't care about anything, even more irresponsible than me.
I've only seen him twice since I took office, mentioning him or not doesn't matter.
By the way, what did he want from you?"
Xiao Feng showed a puzzled expression. From what Hua Ling said, it seemed she didn't know what kind of person Ma Yuliang was?
Just then, Hui Er came up to Xiao Feng and explained in a low voice, "Little sister didn't arrive at the temple until after Ma Yuliang left, she's never seen him."
Xiao Feng nodded in understanding, thinking this was quite reasonable.
Even if Hua Ling had been at Anping Temple back then, considering her age, she wouldn't have been old enough to remember, perhaps she wasn't even born yet.
And after Hua Ling was adopted, since Ma Yuliang was a shadow among the monks of Anping Temple, clearly no one wanted to bring these matters up with her.
"Second senior brother, what are you mumbling about?" Hua Ling frowned with a hint of displeasure.
Hui Er smiled to cover up, "Nothing."
Hua Ling frowned more deeply, clearly not believing him, but soon her tightly knitted brows relaxed, and her big eyes curved into crescent moons, pretending to be mysterious:
"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Xiao Feng shrugged, "It's all the same, since we'll know sooner or later, you can say whichever you want to first."
"You're no fun, you must choose, otherwise I won't say either," Hua Ling said, arms crossed and puffed up.
"Say the good news first then," Xiao Feng said casually, not appearing particularly interested.
However, this didn't dampen Hua Ling's enthusiasm for sharing the good news.
Her eyebrows danced with excitement as she said, "Wu Zhanbo and three other old guys have all been removed!
I've had my eyes on them for a long time, who knew happiness would come so quickly. I woke up to hear such good news, and it made my day beautiful."
Even though he knew this outcome was expected, Xiao Feng was still a bit surprised; Ma Yuliang's efficiency was indeed swift and decisive.
"And the bad news?" Hui Er asked.
"The bad news…" Hua Ling looked at Xiao Feng with a gloating expression, "The matter of you trading resources has stirred public outrage.
From what I know, someone has already written a joint letter, just waiting for the victims to sign and fingerprint, then report you together."
"Who wrote the joint letter?"
"Are you planning to retaliate?"
Xiao Feng shook his head, "I just want to know who it is."
"Hmph! I won't tell you, but it's someone named Dong Yaping who wrote the letter," Hua Ling said slyly.
"..." Xiao Feng.
Although he knew she was deliberately giving it away, the way she did so was a bit too obvious.
Dong Yaping?
Xiao Feng thought for a moment and immediately knew who this was.
This Dong Yaping who wrote the joint letter was none other than the person who implied he could find an abandoned cave to do some exercise.
Xiao Feng remembered clearly, Dong Yaping never bought his resources, but instead tried to get freebies.
"I didn't sell her anything, nor did I rob her resources, why write a joint letter?" Xiao Feng frowned.
If it were one of his customers, he wouldn't think much of it, but what was Dong Yaping's motive for writing a joint letter?
Hua Ling puckered her lips, "Who knows, if not for justice, there must be another reason."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng first ruled out the possibility that Dong Yaping wrote the joint letter out of justice.
But if not for justice, could it be because he refused to go to a deserted place for exercise with her?
Shaking his head, Xiao Feng decided not to dwell on this matter anymore.
As for those clients with tens of thousands, he had given up hope of getting the money in his hand.
After all, the resources were public property, and private trading would most likely just require turning over the earned income.
This would be the relatively better outcome, and in the worst-case scenario, additional fines were not impossible.
Of course, whether to pay the fine is another matter.
However, while the money from trading resources could be neglected, the ghillie suit was different.
He made that himself, and now that the fruits of his labor were ripe, they had to be picked.
With this in mind, Xiao Feng immediately found the customers who bought the ghillie suit, planning to settle accounts one by one during meal time.
However, just as he was about to enter the dining hall, a pleasant voice came from behind, "Zero Zero Nine?"
Turning around, Xiao Feng saw it was Gu Shi, his smallest customer who bought his resources at the lowest price.
"What's up?"
"I'm here to give you the money." Gu Shi straightened the hair in front and said, "Thanks to the things you sold me, I was able to get a good ranking, thank you!"
He spoke, bowing slightly in thanks.
Perhaps it was because there were too many clients dodging payments, that Xiao Feng felt a bit unaccustomed seeing someone proactively coming to pay.
"Don't you feel it was a bad deal?"
"It's not about a bad deal or not." Gu Shi shook her head and said, "I chose to buy it myself, even if it's a loss, I can't deny it.
It's like buying a bottle of wine at a store and breaking it before checkout.
In that case, I can't tell the store I didn't drink it, so I shouldn't pay, right?"
Xiao Feng felt deeply moved.
Look!
What a great girl, knowledgeable, high awareness, and naturally beautiful.
If only other clients were as understanding and aware, how wonderful that would be!
